RE:
Waiver request submitted by Rachel Fleetwood, a member of the Stonebridge Property Owners Association Board, regarding a $1,100 late fee assessed for filing her 2011 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 22 days late and a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing her 2012 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 229 days late.
Facts:
Rachel Fleetwood serves as a member of the Stonebridge Property Owners Association (SPOA). SPOA was created by La. R.S. 33:9064. This is a special taxing district that collects $350 per year from each of the 900 homeowners to provide for security. The SPOA also manages and handles accounting for the HOA of the neighborhood. While the funds for the "district" and the HOA are kept in separate accounts, the SPOA is responsible for both functions. Ms. Fleetwood is required to file.


Ms. Fleetwood has been filing since 2010 (her 2009 pfd). She states that if she would have known she had to file the disclosure statement, she would have. Ms. Fleetwood also states that since being told she had to file a disclosure statement, she has done so every year.
